口译天下2金融
一级市场上发行的证券和金融工具如股票,债券,期权和期货在另一个市场上供人们买进卖出,这就是二级市场。“二级市场”也指进行旧货交易的二手市场,或因现有产品或资产的功能拓展而产生的二级消费市场。比如,传统市场上玉米的首要功能是生产食品和喂养牲畜,但是其可以生产酒精的功能被发掘后,二级甚或三级消费市场就产生了。此外,证券交易市场和柜台交易市场也属于二级市场。
二级市场上的资产种类繁多,从借贷到股票,从零碎资产到大笔集中资金,从非流动资金到流动资金,各不相同。主要的证券交易所内进行的就是二级市场中流动资产的交易,这种情况下,股票都来自公开募股的公司。像纽约证券交易所,纳斯达克和美国证券交易所之类的交易所为合格的投资者提供了一个集中买卖流动资产的二级市场,而投资者必须拥有可以在这些交易所内流通的证券或股票。大部分的债权和结构产品在场外交易,即直接与对方的经纪人在电话里交易。有时候,贷款交易使用在线借贷交易市场进行。
柜台交易或场外交易是指交易双方直接向对方买卖股票,债券,商品期货或衍生品等金融工具,相对的,场内交易是通过期货交易所或股票交易所等设施进行,这些设施正是为交易而造.在美国,股票的场外交易由报价商开展,报价商们通过粉单报价(由粉单场外交易公司<Pink OTC Markets>操作)和场外柜台交易系统(OTCBB)等交易商之间的报价服务在场外柜台交易系统(OTCBB)和粉单市场上交易。虽然交易所内买卖的股票可以在三级市场上进行场外交易,但是场外交易的股票一般不在任何股票交易所上市交易。在场外柜台交易系统(OTCBB)上报价的股票必须遵守美国证监会(SEC)的规定,而其他场外交易(OTC)股票如粉单证券等没有此类要求,因为这些被归为高级市场类(OTCQX)的股票已经符合粉单场外交易公司(Pink OTC Markets)的信息披露规定。场外交易合同是一份双边契约,根据合同,交易双方商定在未来的某个时间实践某项特定的交易或约定,通常由投资银行直接交给其客户。远期和互换是此类合同的主要类型,多数情况下通过电脑或电话完成。通常情况下,如果合同涉及到衍生品交易,则必须遵守国际掉期业务和衍生投资工具协会的规定。

卷JUAN SHOU YU首语絮语文/昕曌2006年,日本漫画家今市子的作品《百鬼夜行抄》被搬上银幕。
由于制作经费问题,这部12集的连续剧制作粗糙,甚至被观众评为“鬼怪特摄片”。
然而,该剧收视率却高于预期,很大一部分原因竟是因为配乐。
在整体素质不佳、经费紧张的情况下,森英治依然以极严谨的态度为该片量身定做了一套配乐,于是,影片开播后,冲着主题曲而来的观众就比比皆是,反让这部远不如原作的日剧成为当年经典。
写到这里,突然想到台湾作家简贞的一句话:活着就要做到坦胸露背迎接万箭攒心,能举头对苍天一笑的境地,因为美,容不下一点狼狈,不允许掰一块尊严,只为了妥协。
把一部鬼怪特摄片当成自己施展才华的舞台,森英治靠的是自己的执着,执着于自己热爱的事业,不肯动摇,不肯与现实妥协,相比起他来,有多少人该自惭形秽?为自己所爱的事业用尽全力,而不问他人态度,不管环境,不求回报,这样的激情,我们太少太少了。
确实,人生之不如意,十有八九,上至天灾人祸,下至室友不和,人类能找到的理由数也数不清,于是,我们习惯了在底端恨恨地羡慕着登上顶层的人,却忘了,世界往往遵循等价交换原则——人要得到什么,就必须付出同等的代价,尽管“代价”不同,但不可否认,任何走到顶端的人都付出了相应的“过路费”,或是其才智,或是其人脉,或是健康云云。
然而,大多数人却只是单纯地希望每天都能数钱数到手抽筋,单纯地希望自己什么都不付出就能获得理想的生活。
生活毕竟不是童话。
一味希望渴望盼望,奇迹也不一定会出现,自怜自艾教年轻着的男男女女垂垂老去,倒是那些破釜沉舟一心追逐梦想的傻瓜,即使岁月在其容颜上留下了痕迹,却总让人感受他的青春。
或许很多时候,我们缺少的只是勇气罢了。
即使有心寻梦,梦想也不一定能够实现,与其如此,倒不如吃喝玩乐——这或许就是大多数人自甘平凡的缘由。
大多数时候让放弃的理由不是外界压力,而是自己的选择。

历年高口NTGF原文真题
2014年3月高级口译听力真题NTGF含解析Note Taking and Gap FillingGood afternoon, class. I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela, who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss! Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young, single people for good luck. However, from Consuela’s point of view, he was an older man giving her money in an envelope, which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally, she refused to take the money.Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today, I’m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts.OK, let’s start with greeting customs—First of all, I’m sure you know that in the United States and in most western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countriesdon’t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between business people are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand, normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone’s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host!Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans ar e quick to use people’s first names even if they have just met. For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as Mr. Brown or Mr. Honda, for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title orposition with their family names, especially if they’re university graduates or owners of a business.Now I want to look at eating customs. I’ll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries i t’s customary to eat with your fingers. It’s important to be aware of different dining customs. Here is another example. In some cultures, eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate as a sign of satisfaction with the food.Finally, what I want to mention today is gift giving, which you may think is a universal custom and there is not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift giving can be very complicated. In USA, if you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone, such as a teacher or a doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them!【评析】本文题材对考生来说并不陌生,是老生常谈的文化差异。

Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1--5Talk about timing. Your question arrived in our in-box the same day that we received a note from an acquaintance who had just been let go from his job in publishing, certainly one of the industries that is facing, as you put it, “extreme change.” He described his layoff as a practically Orwellian experience in which he was ushered into a conference room to meet with an outplacement consultant who, after dispensing with logistics, informed him that she would call him at home that evening to make sure everything was all right.“I assured her I had friends and loved ones and a dog,” he wrote, “and since my relationship with her could be measured in terms of seconds, they could take care of that end of things.” “Memo to HR: Instead of saddling dismissed employees with solicitous outplacement reps,” he noted wryly, “put them in a room with some crockery for a few therapeutic minutes of smashing things against a wall.”While we enjoy our friend’s sense of humor, we’d suggest a different memo to HR. “Layoffs are your moment of truth,” it would say, “when your company must show departing employees the same kind of attentiveness and dignity that was showered upon them when they entered. Layoffs are when HR proves its mettle and its worth, demonstrating whether a company really cares about its people.”Look, we’ve written before about HR and the game-changing role we believe it can—and should—play as the engine of an organization’s hiring, appraisal, and development processes. We’ve asserted that too many companies relegate HR to the mundane busy-work of newsletters, picnics, and benefits, and we’ve made the case that every CEO should elevate his head of HR to the same stature as the CFO. But if there was ever a time to underscore the importance of HR, it has arrived. And, sadly, if there was ever a time to see how few companies get HR right, it has arrived, too, as our acquaintance’s experience shows.So, to your question: What is HR’s correct role now—especially in terms of layoffs?First, HR has to make sure people are let go by their managers, not strangers. Being fired is dehumanizing in any event, but to get the news from a “hired gun” only makes matters worse. That’s why HR must ensure that managers accept their duty, which is to be in on the one conversation at work that must be personal. Pink slips should be delivered face-to-face,eyeball-to-eyeball.Second, HR’s role is to serve as the company’s arbiter of equity. Nothing raises hackles more during a layoff than the sense that some people—namely the loudmouths and the litigious—are getting better deals than others. HR can mitigate that dynamic by making sure across units and divisions that severance arrangements, if they exist, are appropriate and evenhanded. You simply don’t want people to leave feeling as if they got you-know-what. They need to walk out saying: “At least I know i was treated fairly.”Finally, HR’s role is to absorb pain. In the hours and days after being let go, people need to vent, and it is HR’s job to be completely available to console. At some point, all outplacement consultant can come into the mix to assist with a transition, but HR can never let “the departed” feel as if they’ve been sent to a leper colony. Someone connected to each let-go employee—either a colleague or HR staffer—should check in regularly. And not just to ask, “Is everything O.K.?” but to listen to the answer with an open heart, and when appropriate, offer to serve as a reference to prospective employers.Three years ago, we wrote a column called, “So Many CEOs Get This Wrong,” and while many letters supported our stance that too many companies undervalue HR, a significant minority pooh-poohed HR as irrelevant to the “real work” of business. Given the state of things, we wonder how those same HR-minimalists feel now. If their company is in crisis—or their own career—perhaps at last they’ve seen the light. HR matters enormously in good times. It defines you in the bad.1. Why does the author say that his friend’s note displayed a “sense of humor”(para. 3)?(A) Because his layoff experience showed vividly the process of”extreme change”.(B) Because he gave a vivid description of the outplacement reps’ work style.(C) Because he suggested to HR how to treat dismissed employees while he himself was fired.(D) Because he was optimistic with the support and understanding from his friends and loved family members after being dismissed.2. The expression “moment of truth” in the sentence “Layoffs are your moment of truth ...when they entered.” (para. 3) most probably means ________.(A) critical moment of proving one’s worth(B) time of dismissing the employees(C) important moment of telling the truth(D) time of losing one’s dignity3. Which of the following does NOT support the author’s statement that “HR has to make sure people are let go by their managers, not strangers.”(para. 6)?(A) In that case the let-go employee would feel less dehumanized.(B) By doing so the managers treat the employees with respect.(C) HR has thus played the positive role in terms of layoffs.(D) In doing so strangers will only play the role of a “hired gun”.4. The expression “pink slips” in the sentence “Pink slips should be delivered face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball.”(para. 6) can best be paraphrased as ________.(A) a letter of invitation (B) a notice of dismissal(C) a card of condolences (D) a message of greetings5. Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?(A) The time to underscore the importance of HR has arrived.(B) Severance arrangements should be the focus of HR’s job.(C) Employees should be treated with equal respect whether hired or fired.(D) Managers must leave their duty to HR when employees are dismissed.Questions 6—10Senator Barbara Boxer (D) of California announced this month she intends to move ahead with legislation designed to lower the emission of greenhouse gases that are linked by many scientists to climate change. But the approach she’s taking is flawed, and the current financial crisis can help us understand why.The centerpiece of this approach is the creation of a market for trading carbon emission credits. These credits would be either distributed free of charge or auctioned to major emitters of greenhouse gases. The firms could then buy and sell permits under federally mandated emissions caps. If a company is able to cut emissions, it can sell excess credits for a profit. If it needs to emit more, it can buy permits on the market from other firnls.“Cap and trade,” as it is called, is advocated by several policymakers, industry leaders, and activists who want to fight global warming. But it’s based on the trade of highly volatile financial instruments: risky at best. The better approach to climate change? A direct tax placed on emissions of greenhouse gases. The tax would create a market price for carbon emissions and lead to emissions reductions or new technologies that cut greenhouse gases. This is an approach favored by many economists as the financially sensible way to go. And it is getting a closer look by some industry professionals and lawmakers.At first blush, it might seem crazy to advocate a tax increase during a major recession. But there are several virtues of a tax on carbon emissions relative to a cap-and-trade program. For starters, the country already has a mechanism in place to deal with taxes. Tax collection is something the government has abundant experience with. A carbon trading scheme, on the other hand, requires the creation of elaborate new markets, institutions, and regulations to oversee and enforce it. Another relative advantage of the tax is its flexibility. It is easier to adjust the tax to adapt to changing economic, scientific, or other circumstances. If the tax is too low to be effective, it can be raised easily. If it is too burdensome it can be relaxed temporarily. In contrast, a cap-and-trade program creates emissions permits that provide substantial economic value to firms and industries. These assets limit the program’s flexibility once under way, since market actors then have an interest in maintaining the status quo to preserve the value of the assets. What’s more, they can be a recipe for trouble. As my American Enterprise Institute colleagues Ken Green, Steve Hayward, and Kevin Hassett pointed out two years ago, “sudden changes in economic conditions could lead to significant price volatility in a cap-and-trade program that would be less likely under acarbon-tax regime.”Recent experience bears this out. Europe has in place a cap-and-trade program that today looks a little like the American mortgage-backed securities market—it’s a total mess. The price of carbon recently fell—plummeting from over $30 to around $12 per ton—as European firms unloaded their permits on the market in an effort to shore up deteriorating balance sheets during the credit crunch. It is this shaky experience with cap-and-trade that might explain an unlikely advocate of acarbon tax. Earlier this year, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson pointed in a speech to the problems with Europe’s cap-and-trade program—such as the program’s volatility and lack of transparency—as reasons he prefers a carbon tax.That said, new taxes are a tough sell in Washington, which helps explain the current preference for a cap-and-trade scheme. Despite this, there are ways to make a carbon tax more politically appealing. The first is to insist that it be “revenue neutral.” This means that any revenues collected from the tax are used to reduce taxes elsewhere, such as payroll taxes.The advantage of this approach is that it places a burden on something that is believed by many to be undesirable (greenhouse-gas emissions) while relieving a burden on something that is desirable (work). Another selling point is that the tax can justify the removal of an assortment of burdensome and costly regulations such as CAFE standards for car. These regulations become largely redundant in an era of carbon taxes.But it may be that a carbon tax doesn’t need an elaborate sales pitch today when the alternative is trading carbon permits. The nation’s recent experience with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the mortgage-backed securities market should prompt Congress to think twice when a member proposes the creation of a highly politicized market for innovative financial instruments, no matter how well intentioned the program may be.6. The author introduces Senator Barbara Boxer in the passage because she ________.(A) has made suggestions to ease the current financial crisis(B) is a pioneer in the reduction of greenhouse gases emission(C) is well-known for her proposal on legislation reform(D) plans to propose the legislation of cap-and-trade program7. Which of the following CANNOT be true about the carbon emission credits system?(A) The use of carbon credits would show clearly emitters’ efforts in carbon cutting.(B) The credits might be distributed free or auctioned to the emitters.(C) The price of carbon credits could fluctuate with changing economic conditions.(D) The credits can be bought and sold between emitters for profits.8. According to the passage, the cap-and-trade program ________.(A) will be much more useful in fighting global warming(B) will not be as effective as a tax on carbon emissions(C) is being examined by industry professionals and lawmakers(D) is supported by many policymakers, industry leaders and activists9. The expression “to shore up” in the sentence “as European firms unloaded their permits on the market in an effort to shore up deteriorating balance sheets during the credit crunch”(para. 6) can best paraphrased as ________.(A) to eliminate (B) to revise and regulate(C) to give support to (D) to correct and restructure10. In the last paragraph, the author mentions Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the mortgage-backed securities to tell the Congress that ________.(A) the experience with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the mortgage-backed securities will be useful for the creation of a highly politicized market(B) the lessons from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the mortgage-backed securities should not be neglected(C) the argument over cap-and-trade program and direct tax on carbon emissions should be stopped(D) the legislation for a cap-and-trade scheme will prove to be the solution to greenhouse gases emissionQuestions 11--15The gap between what companies might be expected to pay in tax and what they actually pay amounts to billions of pounds—on that much, everyone can agree. The surprising truth is that no one can agree how many billions are missing, or even how to define “tax gap”. Estimates range from anything between £3bn to nearly £14bn, depending on who is doing the calculations. Even the people in charge of colleting the taxes—Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC)—admit they have only the vaguest idea of how many further billions of pounds they could be getting...and it took a freedom of information request before they would admit the extent of their lack of knowledge.Any media organization or MP attempting to pursue the subject will find themselves hampered by the same difficulties faced by the tax collectors—secrecy and complexity. The Guardian’s investigation, which we publish over the coming two weeks, is no different.The difficulty starts with an inability of anyone to agree a definition of “tax avoidance”. It continues through the limited amount of information in the public domain. And it is further hampered by the extraordinary complexity of modern global corporations.International companies based in the UK may have hundreds of subsidiary companies, which many use to take advantage of differing tax regimes as they move goods, services and intellectual property around the world. It is estimated that more than half of world trade consists of such movements (known as transfer-pricing) within corporations.Companies are legally required publicly to declare these subsidiaries. But they generally tell shareholders of only the main subsidiaries. The Guardian’s investigation found five majorUK-based corporations which had ignored the requirements of the Companies Act by failing to identify offshore subsidiaries. This is just one example of the atmosphere of secrecy andnon-disclosure in Britain which has allowed tax avoidance to flourish. The result is that few outside of the lucrative industries of banking, accountancy and tax law have understood the scale of the capital flight that is now taking place.British tax inspectors privately describe as formidable the mountain outsiders have to climb in order to comb through the accounts of international companies based in London. “The companies hold all the cards,” said one senior former tax inspector. “It’s very difficult because you don’t always know what you are looking for...You are confronted with delay, obstruction and a lot of whingeing from companies who complain about ‘unreasonable requests’. Sometimes you are just piecing together a jigsaw.”Another former senior tax inspector said: “One of the problems the Revenue has is that the company doesn’t have to disclose the amount of tax actually paid in any year and the accounts won’t reveal the liability. Each company has its own method of accounting for tax: there’s no uniform way of declaring it all.” For journalists trying to probe these murky waters, the problems are so substantial that few media organizations attempt it.A trawl through the published accounts of even a single major group of companies can involve hunting around in the registers of several different countries. It takes a lot of time and a lot of money. Companies—with some far-sighted British exceptions—simply refuse to disclose any more than what appears in the published figures. The legal fiction that a public company is a “legal person”, entitled to total tax secrecy and even to “human rights”, makes it normally impossible for a journalist to penetrate the tax strategies of big business. HMRC refuse, far example, to identify the 12 major companies who used tax avoidance schemes to avoid paying any corporation tax whatever.It is difficult to access experts to guide the media or MPs through this semantic jungle. The “Big Four” accountants and tax QCs who make a living out of tax avoidance, have no interest in helping outsiders understand their world. Few others have the necessary knowledge, and those that do, do not come cheap or may be conflicted. “Secrecy is the offshore world’s great protector,” writes William Brittan-Caitlin, London-based former Kroll investigator in his book, Offshore. “Government and states are generally at a loss to diagnose in detail what is really going on inside corporate internal markets. Corporations are extremely secretive about the special tax advantages these structures give them.”11. According to the passage, the “tax gap” is ________.(A) a well-defined term included in both British taxation system and the Companies Act(B) an accepted practice adopted by most international companies based in the UK(C) a practice difficult to define and discover but common with companies in Britain(D) the target which has been attacked by British tax inspectors over the past decades12. It can be concluded that many international companies “move goods, services and intellectual property around the world” (para.4) within corporations mainly in order ________.(A) to make use of different tax systems to avoid taxation(B) to give equal support to all the subsidiaries around the world(C) to expand the import and export trade with other countries(D) to raise their productivity and to maximize the profitability13. When one former senior tax inspector comments that “Sometimes you are just piecing together a jigsaw “(para. 6), he most probably means that ________.(A) investigating a company’s accounts is the same as playing a children’s game(B) the Revenue should reform its regulation to fight illegal “tax avoidance”(C) it’s a complicated matter to investigate an international company’s accounts(D) it’s a diffident task to overcome the obstruction from the company’s side14. By using the expression “legal fiction”(para. 8) to describe today’s status of a public company, the author is trying to imply that such a definition ________.(A) is a humanitarian and legitimate definition protecting the rights of companies(B) is ridiculous, absurd and hinders the investigation of tax strategies of big companies(C) is an incorrect and inexact concept to reveal the nature of modem businesses(D) is a reflection of the reality of companies and corporations and should not be altered15. In writing this article, the author is planning to tell all of the following to the readers EXCEPT that ________.(A) the gap between what companies are expected to pay in tax and what they actually pay is too enormous to be neglected(B) secrecy and complexity are the two major protectors of international corporations in tax avoidance(C) there are loopholes in the legislation concerning companies which obstruct the practice of taxation(D) the government plans to investigate the “tax gap” and “tax avoidance” of international companiesQuestions 16--20One of the many upsetting aspects to being in your forties, is hearing people your own age grumbling about “young people” the way we were grumbled about ourselves. Old friends will complain, “Youngsters today have no respect like we did”, and I’ll think: “Hang on. I remember the night you set a puma loose in the soft furnishings section of Pricerite’s.”There’s also a “radicals” version of this attitude, a strand within the middle-aged who lament how today’s youngsters, “Don’t demonstrate like we did”, because “we were always marching against apartheid or for the miners but students these days don’t seem bothered”. It would seem natural if they went on: “The bloody youth of today; they’ve no disrespect for authority. In my day you started chanting and if a copper gave you any lip you gave him a clip round the ear, and he didn’t do it again. We’ve lost those values somehow.”You feel that even if they did come across a mass student protest they’d sneer. “That isn’t a proper rebellion, they’ve used the internet. “You wouldn’t have caught Spartacus rounding up his forces by putting a message on Facebook saying ‘Hi Cum 2 Rome 4 gr8 fite 2 liber8 slaves lets kill emprer lol’”.It doesn’t help that many of the student leaders from the sixties and seventies ended up as ministers or journalists, who try to deny they’ve reneged on their principles by making statements such as: “It’s true I used to run the Campaign to Abolish the British Army, but my recent speech in favour of invading every country in the world in alphabetical order merely places those ideals in a modern setting.”Also it’s become a tougher prospect to rebel as a student, as tuition fees force them to work while they’re studying. But over the last two weeks students have organized occupations in 29 universities, creating the biggest student revolt for 20 years. In Edinburgh, for example, the demands were that free scholarships should be provided for Palestinian students, and the university should immediately cancel its investments with arms companies.So the first question to arise from these demands must be: what are universities doing having links with arms companies in the first place? How does that help education? Do the lecturers make an announcement that, “This year, thanks to British Aerospace, the media studies course has possession of not only the latest digital recording equipment and editing facilities, but also three landmines and a Tornado bomber”?。

2009北外MTI翻译基础真题
09北外MTI真题I. Translate the following passages into Chinese and write your translation on the answer sheet. (50 points-25 points x 2)Passage 1In Defense of Translationby Howard Goldblatt (葛浩文)How’s this for an occupational testimonial: “There is no such thing as a good translator. The best translators make the worst mistakes. No matter how much I love them, all translators must be closely watched。
”Who are these people everyone loves to hate, and, if they're so bad, how do they get away with what they're doing?Well, I confess: I'm one of them. I'm a translator。
…I am sometimes asked why I translate, since to many it seems a thankless vocation. Why, they ask, don't I write my own novels, since I have lived (they assume) an interesting life and must by now have an idea of what a novel should be? I can only say that not all translators are closet novelists, and that I do not consider translation to be a lesser art -- one that ought to lead to something better. The short, and very personal, answer to the question is: Because I love it. I love to read Chinese; I love to write in English. I love the challenge, the ambiguity, and the uncertainty of the enterprise. I love the tension between creativity and fidelity, even the inevitable compromises. And, every once in a while, I find a work so exciting that I'm possessed by the urge to put it into English. In other words, I translate to stay alive. The satisfaction of knowing I've faithfully served two constituencies keeps me happily turning good, bad, and indifferent Chinese prose into readable, accessible, and -- yes -- even marketable English books. Tian na! (276 words)Passage 2Downsizing in VogueIn recent years corporate downsizing has been on the rise throughout the world. Downsizing is reducing costs by dismissing employees and reassigning their duties to the employees who remain. They usually call it restructuring, rightsizing, reallocating resources, or job separation. They sometimes use dieting metaphors like "trimming the fat," "getting lean and mean," or "shedding weight." Whatever the euphemism, employees affected by these practices know what the words mean to them: layoff. And no "kinder, gentler" words can do much to alleviate the anxiety and distress that come with losing a job。

三级口译《口译实务》汉译英真题:驻巴基斯坦大使刘健在第十届“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛巴基斯坦赛区决赛上的讲话来源地址:外交部官网(2011年)/chn/gxh/tyb/zwbd/t821399.htm女士们,先生们!早上好!我非常高兴出席今天在这里举行的第十届“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛巴基斯坦赛区决赛。
我想对巴国立现代语言大学和伊斯兰堡孔子学院为此次比赛做出的各项细心周到的安排表示感谢。
我还想向参赛选手们表示祝贺。
你们非凡的语言天赋、流利的汉语水平和对中国文化的理解令我印象深刻。
我相信,你们一定能在决赛中脱颖而出,创造佳绩。
诞生于2002年的“汉语桥”世界大学生中文比赛至今已经吸引了来自全世界70多个国家的上万名学生参赛,极大推动了中文普及并掀起了一股学习汉语的热潮。
我们应当为它喝彩。
在今天这个场合,我想就语言谈一些个人看法。
语言是技能。
掌握一门语言无疑是多了一项交流沟通的技能,对个人事业发展有好处。
由于中巴特殊的“全天候”战略伙伴关系,巴基斯坦学生学习汉语拥有更为有利的条件。
中国总理******去年底的成功访问极大丰富了两国人文交流的内涵。
在《联合声明》中,双方同意全面拓展人文交流,重点加强中文和乌尔都语教育。
中方今年将邀请100名巴基斯坦高中生赴华参加“汉语桥”夏令营,并继续向伊斯兰堡孔子学院提供奖学金。
中方还将自今年起,在三年之内向巴方提供500名政府奖学金名额。
可以说,你们学习汉语正逢其时。
语言是桥梁。
第13任中国驻巴大使张春贤能够说一口流利的乌尔都语。
我知道我的很多同事对学习乌尔都语怀有浓厚的兴趣。
我还知道,很多巴基斯坦朋友会说汉语,其中就有巴国立现代语言大学和伊斯兰堡孔子学院的校友。
我们为他们骄傲。
今天,我还想特别提及伊斯兰堡孔子学院的学生。
去年温总理来巴,我们在巴中友谊中心举办了这样一场活动,就是两国总理与为中巴友谊做出突出贡献人士座谈。
座谈会临近结束的时候,伊斯兰堡孔子学院学员朱雷和14岁女孩拉比亚分别用中文和英文深情并茂地朗诵了一首题为“巴中友谊”的诗。

在这次选民登记运动中,伊利诺伊州40万从未登记过的非洲裔选民中有15万参与了登记。
为此,奥巴马入选了克雷恩芝加哥商业周刊1993年的“40位40岁以下的政治人物”名单。
【评析】本段话的翻译中存在几个难点,一个是Project V ote的同位语如何处理,另外一个是achieve, lead to两个动词的处理方式。
Project V ote是美国一个非盈利性组织,我们姑且把它翻作“选举工程”,其宗旨是促进美国低收入、少数民族居民参加到国内的民主进程中,为了避免读者混乱,可以采用增译法,译作“‘选举工程’组织”。
解决这个问题之后,再来看同位语的处理问题,drive 这里作a strong systematic group effort讲(Merriam-Webster),译文翻作“运动”,可以接受,难的是如何把它和前文衔接起来,我给的建议是将名词成分转译为动词形式,改为“呼吁选民登记的‘选举工程’组织”。
后面with引导的伴随状语原译文中心和原文稍稍有点偏差,但不影响意思,结合起来,这个句子更好的处理方式可能是把后面的同位语独立成句,翻成“该组织有10名工作人员,700名志愿者,其目的在于呼吁选民投票”。
Achieve its goal原译文漏掉了,我认为这里的goal是比较重要的一个词,不宜删除,这里的goal和上文的drive相互呼应,在翻译的时候应当补上“达成其目标”。
本段的最后一个难点在于lead to这个动词词组的翻译,译文为“为此,奥巴马入选了……”相当不错的翻译法,以“因此”作为衔接,再将主语更改,由原来的this改为Obama,更加符合中文习惯。
句末的40 under Forty为克雷恩芝加哥商业周刊年度奖项,涉及的人物来自各行各业,并不仅仅局限于“政治”领域,比如今年评选出来的就包括“行人”。
For 12 years, Obama was a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School; as a lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a senior lecturer from 1996 to 2004.[39] In 1993 he joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill Galland, a law firm of 12 attorneys that specialized incivil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002.[40]奥巴马曾在芝加哥大学法学院担任了12年的宪法讲师:1992到1996年任普通讲师,1996到2004任高级讲师。
在1993年,奥巴马加入了只有12名专门从事民权诉讼和社区经济开发律师的戴维斯,迈纳,巴恩希尔,加兰德律师事务所:1993年到1996年任助理,1996年到2004年任诉讼律师。
他的律师执照在2002年失效。
【评析】本段翻译的难点在于a law firm of 12 attorneys that specialized in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996这个从句,一般而言,这种长句翻译的处理是拆分成几个独立的分句,以防译文过长,读者没空喘气,这是原译文没有处理好的地方,试改为“奥巴马加入戴维斯,迈纳,巴恩希尔,加兰德律师事务所,这家事务所仅有12名律师,专司民权诉讼及社区经济发展”,这种处理方法把原先冗长的定语转为两个分句,显得更加清晰。
Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993.[26][41] He served from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund the Developing Communities Project, and also from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Joyce Foundation.[26] Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 to 2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995 to 1999.[26] He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center.[26]在1992年,奥巴马参与创立了公众联盟,并担任董事。
但在他的妻子米歇尔在1993年担任公众联盟芝加哥分会的执行主席前,他辞去了自己的职务。
在1994年到2002年期间,奥巴马在乔伊斯基金会和芝加哥森林基金会任董事。
芝加哥森林基金会在1895年成为社区发展计划的首位资助者。
奥巴马曾在1995年至2002年期间担任芝加哥安南伯格挑战计划组织的董事,其中1995年至1999年任主席。
也在芝加哥公民权利保护律师协会,社区科技中心和鲁吉尼亚烧伤希望中心担任董事。
【评析】这一段列举了奥巴马参加的不少组织,文章难度不大,翻译也没有什么问题,但提到Woods Fund和Joyce Foundation两个组织的时候,译者用了一个很大胆的处理方法,将两个句子合并为一,最后再翻译出第一个句子的从句,非常漂亮的处理方法,以原文为基础,译者做了一个聪明的再创造。
Political career: 1996–2008State legislator: 1997–2004Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, succeeding State Senator Alice Palmer asSenator from Illinois's 13th District, which at that time spanned Chicago South Side neighborhoods from Hyde Park-Kenwood south to South Shore and west to Chicago Lawn.[42] Once elected, Obama gained bipartisan support for legislation reforming ethics and health care laws.[43] He sponsored a law increasing tax credits for low-income workers, negotiated welfare reform, and promoted increased subsidies for childcare.[44] In 2001, as co-chairman of the bipartisan Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, Obama supported Republican Governor Ryan's payday loan regulations and predatory mortgage lending regulations aimed at averting home foreclosures.[45]从政生涯从政生涯::1996-2008州参议院员州参议院员::1997-20041996年,奥巴马继州议员艾利斯•帕莫尔后,从伊利诺斯州第十三区(当时囊括了芝加哥南区中从海德园肯伍德区南至南部海岸区,西至芝加哥草坪区的区域)选入州议会。
